  Please note: The grant application has been changed to include the e-mail address of the Project Director, Financial Director and Government Official. Grant approval letters with approved grants will now be e-mailed. This reduces our internal costs (postage, envelopes, paper etc.) and will accelerate the approval process. Thank you for your cooperation. If no e-mail address is provided, the letter and approved grant will be mailed (through US Mail) only to the Project Director.
